Race part one is a video that we watched in class. It shows how a group of high school students try to see who they are similar to by using their own genes. Many of the students believed that by looking similar to a class mate they would have similar genes. These genes were used as a lesson to show that many races have similar genes. Many genes can be dated back to early ancestry however along the course of time there has been a lot of interaction between races and culture. This shows that no matter your genotype race is not a way of showing what genes you are made up of.
For me the song bridging gaps by the Black eyed peas, is a good example of not using race as a way of dividing people. This songs talks about seeing people as who they are not how they appear, and bringing everyone together as one. It goes into more detail about how what ever a person’s background is; people should unite as a whole and not use that as an excuse. This relates to the video because many different races has very similar genes. Genes don’t depict race or culture, just what you are made of. Many different people have similar genes and should just realize how race is not an excuse for hate or difference.
For me the video race part one showed me how truly naïve people are about race. It also shocked me to see that genes have no part of race. This is a sign that humanity is coming around. Now that is proven that we are all very similar as people there is no reason for segregation or hate towards one group, and as time continues we will all be so closely breed that there will be no racism in our world. Hopefully some day I can be around for this world, but with this information it is a good base.
